And I felt obliged to include iton this album.The last verse goes like this here:Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.And I went to pick her up in the rain.But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truckShe got runned over by a damned old train.CHORUSSo I'll hang around as long as you will let meAnd I never minded standin' in the rain. No,You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'You never even call me, I wonder why you don't call meWhy don't you ever call me by my name.</blockquote>
